Thursday Theology: a personal project

It's mostly just a thought right now. It's a project that I have actually started, but it has a long way to go and may truly be bigger than I am up for. I am considering it to be a lifetime learning kind of project, so if it gets shelved from time to time that's okay.

I'm beginning by going through The Bible and looking at the red letters -- the things that Jesus said and taught. As I do this, I'll be making notes on how these things speak to me and try to figure out how I can best follow his teachings.
But then I want to compare what Jesus teaches to the things taught in other faith practices. Without going into it, I know that there are many areas where faiths overlap in beliefs and teachings. I'm guessing that there will be far more areas where we are similar than different, but will have to wait to see just how it all plays out. I am definitely going to have to learn more about Christianity and some of the other religions of the world.

Sheesh!
A lifetime project, indeed.
Perhaps some of my findings will show up here from time to time.
